Vintage Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1UV, 1/16oz UV fishing spoon #16565

Measuring 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm) in length, the slim profile of this Needlefish 1UV by Luhr Jensen is a familiar sight to any trout troller’s tackle box. This specific lure, listed under product code 16565, weighs 1/16 oz (2 g) and presents in excellent 5/5 condition. Its distinct color pattern shifts from a gold-speckled green top to a white belly, which hides a functional secret: a high-output green glow once submerged in low-light environments. The original hardware is intact, featuring silver split rings and the metal flasher tag stamped with 'Luhr Jensen Hood River Ore.' Because of its light weight, it is designed to be trolled at about 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h) to achieve its signature sharply fluttering wobble. Experienced anglers usually fish this on a light 8-pound line to preserve that delicate movement through the water without needing extra weight near the hook.
